\par 
\par On the basis of the admissions made by the plaintiff, I am satisfied that the plaintiff and the defendant entered into an agreement pursuant to section 16(1) of the Workmen\rquote s Compensation Act and that the entry into that
 agreement was indeed regular and in compliance with the requirements of the section.}{\f0\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid1264732  }{\f0\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid676141\charrsid1264732 
That being so, the clear and unambiguous words of section 25(1)(c) bar proceedings such as the plaintiff has commenced against the defendant and accordingly, the defendant\rquote s application must succeed.
\par 
\par With respect to the question of costs, as the wording of section 25 is so clear and unambiguous, the proceedings should never have been commenced in this court and accordingly, I see no reason why the plaintiff, regrettably, 
should not be obliged to meet the defendant\rquote s costs on a solicitor client basis.}{\f0\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid1264732
